Boris Johnson’s response to Trump’s Muslim ban ‘inadequate and insulting’, says Britain’s General Union.

The foreign secretary has addressed the Commons following Donald Trump’s controversial immigration crackdown, which prohibits refugees and citizens from countries including Syria, Iran and Iraq from visiting the US.

He told the house British citizens were still welcome in the US –  however he then emphasised the ‘vital importance of this county’s alliance with the US’. More than 1.3million people have already signed a petition calling for Trump’s UK state visit to be cancelled following the ban.

Kamaljeet Jandu, GMB Equality Officer, said: “Boris Johnson’s waffling response to Trump’s appalling immigration policy is inadequate and insulting.

“Instead of taking the opportunity to challenge this abhorrent ban – he decided to cosy up to the new administration.

“The US ban on travellers of the Muslim faith is a serious issue for Britain and has far more implications then whether Brits can travel to the US.

“It is likely to lead to more racial violence and abuse of Muslims and people of colour in Britain – just as we have seen an increase in hate crimes in the wake of the Brexit vote.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
